Shouldn't ID replace a defective injector? They sure charge enough for them.

Not if it is contaminated.

I just heard from the shop I took them to that 7 are fine and one is stuck wide open and needs to be replaced. I am waiting on a quote for some 1700s before I make up my mind.You have my cell if you would like to make an offer on the 7 good ones. I'm not 100% sure I want to sell them yet though.

How long did you run them? Didn't you have an injector issue once before or am I just making things up?

I did with a set of used 2000s I bought that had run e85 and they sat for months before I used them. They did not flow correct and I sold them to someone who had them cleaned up. This is a failed injector that is stuck open. I can only assume from the fuel lines I have been using. They can't have over 1500 miles on them. I am going to just get another 1300 from ID. They said if I give them the SN off mine they can give me a glow matched replacement for $225. I would still sell them for the right money since Iwant the 1700s but I don't have to at this point. I just need to decide now what lines to run.

Hate to see you having issues with IDs since its what I have counted on to keep my car alive. It'd be one thing for it to be a ID1000 stuck open due to E but this isn't the case.

A stuck injector could definitely do some damage!

Yes, can't help but wonder if it stuck open on my last pass when the crank broke.

 

[D98GT]

I'll be the first to admit that my 3v knowledge is average at best, but crank failures aren't too common. It definitely took a perfect storm combination of things to go wrong for you to be so catastrophic

Fore's ptfe hose is what I use and it's fantastic for e85. Just throwing it out there

Okay, all new SS braided PTFE lines and fittings coming Saturday and a new ID1300 injector coming Friday. Fuel system should be bullet proof now!

 

[D98GT]

I'm jealous.

I want 1300s so I can go for 1000

If I would have received an offer, I would have jumped on the quote I received on the 1700s haha

Well at least you have a chance at beating my coyote now

ID has done there part and some getting the new injector for me at a great price. Siliconeintakes.com, we shall see... Should have had a shipping email today and nothing, even after emailing them prior and making sure the parts were in stock and being assured they would ship the day after I ordered them. I sent them a message tonight on there site asking for info, so we shall see.

You bought the line and fittings through silicone intakes? That is what I run on my car. Shipping has always been very quick

Yes, I have bought a from them a couple times before. Im just hoping someone forgot the update today as it still says pending at the moment. I would have expedited the shipment if I felt I needed to.

 

[JoshK]

The ends can be a pita but it nice you get the hang of it its not too bad

 

[05stroker]

Yeah, I've watched some videos on how to do it seems like a task I can handle.

 

[TexasBlownV8]

Billy, be careful about trying to mix ptfe hoses with different hose end vendors; the specs for most all of them are different, and it's a pita as it is getting the proper hose ends on them. It's nit like standard braided line where you can buy brand-x hose and use brand-y hose ends.
Of course the normal adapters and fittings are all still standard.

and on glad to hear you've got it back together and running!!!!

I'm not having a good experience with SI.com! I received an email this morning saying that the order did not ship yesterday as I was told it would and it would be sent out right away. Then this afternoon I get an email at 4:11 saying they don't have the -10 line I ordered and want to o know if I want the rest of the order shipped and a refund for the -10 line and that my order is on hold till they hear from me. I get in at 7:00 tonight and email them back stating almost the same as what TexasBlownv8 has stated. I asked when they can have the -10 line and that if the cannot furnish it, I would need to cancel the entire order as I do not want to mix match lines and fittings as I have had issues with this in the past.

Went to ID this afternoon and the injector that was supposed to ship from AZ overnight to Rockwall TX, so I could pick it up while I was in Dallas today, did not get shipped. The gentleman I was working with (Ryan) here was very helpful and discounted my injector by 30% since it was a replacment and gave me free overnight air shipping to my house tomorrow for my troubles. That is how all company's should handle this stuff. Own your mistake and offer a solution to make it right. Good guys at ID (T1 Race Development)!

In all fairness to SI they did say the lack of the -10 being there was there fault and wanted to know how I wanted to handle it.

Ups pushed my overnight air freight, Saturday delivery on the injector till today for what ever reason. I now have my new injector though. I also talked to Siliconeintakes.com and they won't have the -10 for two weeks. So, I told them to get the rest of it coming and I ordered some Fragola -10 from Summit tonight.

So, since no work was happening with my car, I got dome work done on the kids motor.

Plan to get my lines installed this weekend.
